The track by the Tweed is on the route of the branch of the Waverley line opened in 1856, following the Tweed and the Ettrick to Selkirk, with stations along the way at Abbotsford Ferry and Lindean. It was operated by the North British Railway Company. Increasing competition from bus services led to withdrawal of passenger traffic in 1951, though freight continued until 1964
